Abstract
Characterizing metabolism in cancer is crucial for understanding tumor biology and for developing potential therapies. Although most metabolic investigations analyze averaged metabolite levels from all cell compartments, subcellular metabolomics can provide more detailed insight into the biochemical processes associated with the disease. Methodological limitations have historically prevented the wider application of subcellular metabolomics in cancer research. Recently, however, ways to distinguish and identify metabolic pathways within organelles have been developed, including state-of-the-art methods to monitor metabolism in situ (such as mass spectrometry-based imaging, Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy), to isolate key organelles via new approaches and to use tailored isotope-tracing strategies. Herein, we examine the advantages and limitations of these developments and look to the future of this field of research.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is an essential component in the plant secretory pathway. The enrichment of Golgi membranes from plant tissue is fundamental to the study of this structurally complex organelle. The utilization of density centrifugation for the enrichment of Golgi membranes is still the most widely employed isolation technique. Generally, the procedure requires optimization depending on the plant tissue being employed. Here we provide a detailed enrichment procedure that has previously been used to characterize cell wall biosynthetic complexes from wheat seedlings. We also outline several downstream analyses procedures, including nucleoside diphosphatase assays, immunoblotting, and finally localization of putative Golgi proteins by fluorescent tags.

Abstract
AIM Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide. Liver is the largest human digestive gland with abundant Golgi apparatus involved in cell division, migration and apoptosis and others. METHODS In the present study, Golgi apparatus of HCC and the surrounding liver tissues were isolated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and identified by electron microscopy and enzymology methods. Using 2-D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, 17 differentially expressed protein of Golgi apparatus in HCC and the surrounding liver tissue were screened and identified in the Mascot database. RESULTS Of those differentially expressed proteins, six were upregulated and 11 were downregulated, some of them were related to the biological processes such as protein sorting, glycosylation, cell cycle regulation, transcription regulation and Golgi integrity. One protein, annexin A5, was verified to be upregulated in HCC by western blot. CONCLUSION The differentially expressed proteins may provide new insight into HCC biology and potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers.

Abstract
This review covers discoveries made over the past 30-35 years that were important to our understanding of the synthetic pathway required for initiation of the antennae or branches on complex N-glycans and O-glycans. The review deals primarily with the author's contributions but the relevant work of other laboratories is also discussed. The focus of the review is almost entirely on the glycosyltransferases involved in the process. The following topics are discussed. (1) The localization of the synthesis of complex N-glycan antennae to the Golgi apparatus. (2) The "evolutionary boundary" at the stage in N-glycan processing where there is a change from oligomannose to complex N-glycans; this switch correlates with the appearance of multicellular organisms. (3) The discovery of the three enzymes which play a key role in this switch, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases I and II and mannosidase II. (4) The "yellow brick road" which leads from oligomannose to highly branched complex N-glycans with emphasis on the enzymes involved in the process and the factors which control the routes of synthesis. (5) A short discussion of the characteristics of the enzymes involved and of the genes that encode them. (6) The role of complex N-glycans in mammalian and Caenorhabditis elegans development. (7) The crystal structure of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I. (8) The discovery of the enzymes which synthesize O-glycan cores 1, 2, 3 and 4 and their elongation.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells contain a variety of cytoplasmic Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A2s (PLA2s; EC 2.3.1.2.3). However, the physiological roles for many of these ubiquitously-expressed enzymes is unclear or not known. Recently, pharmacological studies have suggested a role for Ca(2+)-independent PLA2 (iPLA2) enzymes in governing intracellular membrane trafficking events in general and regulating brefeldin A (BFA)-stimulated membrane tubulation and Golgi-to-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retrograde membrane trafficking, in particular. Here, we extend these studies to show that membrane-permeant iPLA2 antagonists potently inhibit the normal, constitutive retrograde membrane trafficking from the trans-Golgi network (TGN), Golgi complex, and the ERGIC-53-positive ER-Golgi-intermediate compartment (ERGIC), which occurs in the absence of BFA. Taken together, these results suggest that iPLA2 enzymes play a general role in regulating, or directly mediating, multiple mammalian membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
Although membrane tubules can be found extending from, and associated with, the Golgi complex of eukaryotic cells, their physiological function has remained unclear. To gain insight into the biological significance of membrane tubules, we have developed methods for selectively preventing their formation. We show here that a broad range of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) antagonists not only arrest membrane tubule-mediated events that occur late in the assembly of the Golgi complex but also perturb its normal steady-state tubulovesicular architecture by inducing a reversible fragmentation into separate "mini-stacks." In addition, we show that these same compounds prevent the formation of membrane tubules from Golgi stacks in an in vitro reconstitution system. This in vitro assay was further used to demonstrate that the relevant PLA2 activity originates from the cytoplasm. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Golgi membrane tubules, sensitive to potent and selective PLA2 antagonists, mediate both late events in the reassembly of the Golgi complex and the dynamic maintenance of its steady-state architecture. In addition, they implicate a role for cytoplasmic PLA2 enzymes in mediating these membrane trafficking events.

Abstract
B16 murine melanoma melanosomes were purified using sucrose density gradient centrifugation. ATPase activity was evaluated in presence of specific ATPase inhibitors, and compared with melanosome ATP-driven proton translocating activity in the melanosome. Mg2+ dependent ATPase activity was greatly inhibited (82%) by the specific inhibitors of vaculor proton translocating ATPase; Cis-didimethylsulfoxide dichloroplatinum (II) at approximately 90 microM and bafilomycin AI at two fold higher concentrations. Less inhibition, about 30 and 45% was obtained with N, N1-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-ethylmaleimide, and the maximal effect occurred in the 50-100 microM and 0.1-1.5 mM ranges, respectively. These drugs at similar concentrations also inhibited the proton pumping activity to the same extent as observed for ATPase activity and half-maximal inhibition of each activity was found at nearly similar concentrations. Carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydra zone (FCCP) prevented ATP from setting up a pH gradient across the melanosomal membrane but stimulated Mg2+ ATPase activity significantly. Replacement of 5 mM Mg2+ with equimolar Ca2+ brought about a 60% inhibition in divalent cation-dependent ATPase- activity, and an 85% inactivation of ATP-linked melanosomal H+ pump activity. In the presence of optimal concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase activity was similar to that seen in a Mg2+ medium. In Ca2+ medium ATPase activity was inhibited by CDDP and stimulated by FCCP, however these effects were two to three fold less than those observed in Mg2+ medium. FCCP failed to stimulate ATPase activity in CDDP- supplemented medium, thus suggesting that the same ATPase activity fraction was sensitive to both CDDP and FCCP. Mg2+-ATPase activity, like the proton-pump was anion dependent. The lowest activity was recorded in F medium, and increased in the order of F < So4(2-) < CL- = Br-. These results show that the ATPase activity may be related to the melanosomal proton pump.

Abstract
The dependence of CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:GM1 sialyltransferase (SAT IV) activity of rat liver Golgi apparatus on GM1 ganglioside ceramide composition was evaluated. SAT IV activity was assayed on GM1 molecular species carrying homogeneous ceramide moieties containing long chain bases of different length (18 or 20 C atoms) unsaturated or not, linked to 14:0, 16:0, 18:0 or 22:0 fatty acids. The results obtained in the presence of the detergent Triton CF-54, when enzyme and substrate are presumably part of the same supramolecular structure, show that either the long chain base or the fatty acid composition can affect enzyme activity. This feature was not displayed when GM1 was embedded in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles in the absence of detergent. Under the latter conditions, the enzyme was not sensitive to the lipid composition of GM1 but to the ganglioside/phospholipid ratio in the vesicles. These results indicate for the first time that SAT IV is affected by the lipid composition of the substrate and strengthen the hypothesis that glycosyltranferases may contribute to control the cellular glycosphingolipid ceramide pattern.

Abstract
Rat liver Golgi stacks were extracted with Triton X-100 at neutral pH. After centrifugation the low speed pellet contained two medial-Golgi enzymes, N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I and mannosidase II, but no enzymes or markers from other parts of the Golgi apparatus. Both were present in the same structures which appeared, by electron microscopy, to be small remnants of cisternal membranes. The enzymes could be removed by treatment with low salt, leaving behind a salt pellet, which we term the matrix. Removal of salt caused specific re-binding of both enzymes to the matrix, with an apparent dissociation constant of 3 nM for mannosidase II. Re-binding was abolished by pretreatment of intact Golgi stacks with proteinase K, suggesting that the matrix was present between the cisternae.

Abstract
The Golgi marker enzyme, UDP-galactose:N-acetylglucosamine beta 1-4galactosyltransferase (beta 1-4GalT) was purified 44300-fold in its intact, membrane-bound form from rat liver membranes. The protein was isolated from detergent extracts as a high-M(r) form, having a Stokes radius approximating a globular protein of M(r) 440,000. It is comprised of a single protein component as observed on SDS/polyacrylamide gels, having an M(r) near 51,000, and does not have intermolecular disulfide cross-links. N-terminal sequencing of the enzyme demonstrated that it contains an N-terminal hydrophobic stretch deduced previously from cDNA encoding for the enzyme. Previous studies have indicated that the protein may be translated at either of two AUG sites near the 5' end of the mRNA [Russo, R. N., Shaper, N. L. & Shaper, J. H. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 3324-3331], giving rise to two polypeptides, one appended with 13 amino acids. In the work described here, evidence was only found for the sequence of the short form, missing a single methionine at the N-terminus. Mild proteolytic treatment cleaved the enzyme, giving rise to low-M(r) forms which were fully catalytically active and which, upon sequencing, were missing a 66-amino-acid stretch from the N-terminus (as compared to the mouse cDNA). Proteolytic treatment was accompanied by conversion of the form having a large Stokes radius to one approximating a globular protein with M(r) near 50,000. The N-terminal stretch appears to contribute to maintenance of the form having a large Stokes radius. This may be the result of interaction with a detergent micelle, dimerization or oligomerization, or interaction with some other large, non-protein molecule, although a detergent exchange still resulted in a form having a large Stokes radius.

Abstract
The phospholipid composition of nascent very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) of rat hepatocytic Golgi fractions differs greatly from that of plasma VLDL. The phospholipids of nascent VLDL contain about four times more phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) than plasma VLDL, whereas plasma VLDL contain considerably more sphingomyelin. Thus, the ratio of PE to sphingomyelin differs by a factor of about 12 between nascent Golgi VLDL and circulating plasma VLDL. It is evident from these data that the PE/sphingomyelin ratio of VLDL can be used to estimate endosomal contamination of hepatocytic Golgi fractions.

Abstract
Hepatocytes, as the major site of synthesis and terminal catabolism of plasma lipoproteins, exert the major regulatory influence on the concentration of atherogenic lipoproteins in blood plasma and may thereby influence the rate of atherogenesis. The LDL receptor on the microvillous sinusoidal surface of hepatocytes mediates the catabolism of remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and LDL. Binding of VLDL remnants to the receptor, mediated by apo E, is of very high affinity and presumably multivalent, whereas binding of LDL, mediated by apo B-100, is monovalent and of lower affinity, accounting for the much longer residence time of the latter in the blood. The magnitude of the influx of lipoprotein particles into hepatocytic endosomal compartments dwarfs that of other macromolecules undergoing receptor-mediated endocytosis and terminal catabolism in lysosomes of these cells. The intracellular compartments and processing steps in hepatocytic lipoprotein uptake and degradation are essentially the same as those described for other ligands in the liver and other cells. Receptors with bound lipoproteins migrate into coated pits which become coated vesicles. These vesicles uncoat and fuse to form CURL vesicles and tubules near the cell surface where most receptors are recycled, presumably via receptor-rich appendages that become separated from the vesicles. CURL vesicles become mature MVBs as they migrate to the Golgi/bile canalicular pole of hepatocytes, where they fuse with putative Golgi-derived primary lysosomes and are transformed into heterophagic secondary lysosomes. MVBs also contain a receptor-rich appendage that may recycle some receptors directly to the cell surface or through adjacent Golgi compartments. Dilated ends of trans-Golgi cisternae contain nascent VLDL undergoing packaging for secretion following their synthesis and assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum. Because these "forming secretory vesicles" resemble remnant-filled MVBs, occur in a similar location in the Golgi area of hepatocytes and coisolate in centrifugal fractions of liver homogenates, there has been considerable confusion about the identity of these compartments. With the aid of specific endocytic and exocytic markers, highly purified and morphologically intact endosomal and Golgi compartments can now be obtained from rat liver homogenates. The availability of these and similar fractions of defined purity should facilitate investigation of the hepatocytic processing of endocytosed and secreted macromolecules. Although chylomicron remnants are also taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis, the nature of the hepatocytic remnant receptor remains elusive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Several glycosyltransferases participating in ganglioside biosynthesis were measured in Golgi-rich fractions from rat liver. Addition of those UDP-amino sugars to the enzyme assays which accumulate in liver after treatment of rats with D-galactosamine inhibited the transferases to different degrees. The simultaneous presence of UDP-GalN, UDP-GalNAc, UDP-GlcN, and UDP-GlcNAc in concentrations resembling their overall content in livers 6 h after D-galactosamine administration led to an inhibition of the glycolipid galactosyltransferases, GL2 and GM1 synthases of 44 and 64%, respectively. GM2 synthase was moderately inhibited whereas the sialyltransferases (GM3, GD3, and GD1a synthases) were almost unimpaired. Induction of liver cell damage by D-galactosamine did not cause any change of glycosyltransferase activities as determined in rat liver homogenates and Golgi-rich fractions. These results indicate a possible role for UDP-amino sugars in the depression of ganglioside biosynthesis observed in vivo after GalN administration.

Abstract
Three sialyltransferase activities involved in ganglioside biosynthesis were studied in Golgi-enriched preparations of rat liver: the formation of GM3, GD3 and GD1a. The conditions for the quantitative assays of these enzymatic reactions were standardized and optimized, with Triton X-100 being used as detergent. The apparent Km values of each sialyltransferase for N-acetyl-2-(5'-cytidylyl)neuraminic acid (1.5 mM with GM3 synthase, 0.2 mM with GD3 synthase, and 0.5 mM with GD1a synthase) and the respective glycolipid substrates (0.08 mM for lactosylceramide, 0.1 mM for GM3, and 0.5 mM for GM1) were determined. Competition experiments showed that the three sialyltransferase activities are three individual catalytic entities. Moreover, evidence was found that product inhibition may play a role in the regulation of the activity of sialyltransferases.

Abstract
Endogenous acceptors for N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), galactose (Gal) or sialic acid (NeuAc) transfer were labeled to high activities when purified hepatic Golgi fractions were incubated with the corresponding radiolabeled nucleotide sugar in the absence of detergent. The in vitro conditions which were optimal for the endogenous glycosylation of GlcNAc and Gal acceptors (Mn2+, ATP) also promoted fusion within a subset of Golgi membranes. Electron microscope radioautography revealed that the majority of NeuAc acceptors were associated with unfused Golgi membranes, whereas the majority of Gal acceptors were localized to fused membranes. GlcNAc acceptors were approximately equally distributed between fused and unfused membranes. Under conditions in which Golgi membrane fusion was absent (-Mn2+), only NeuAc transfer was active. The majority of endogenous NeuAc acceptors were consequently assigned to the more trans regions of the hepatic Golgi apparatus as concluded from a combination of radioautography (NeuAc transfer) and acid NADPase cytochemistry (reactive medial and trans Golgi saccules). The distribution of NeuAc and Gal transferases was assessed after Percoll gradient centrifugation of disrupted Golgi fractions. The median density of NeuAc transferase was lower than that of Gal transferase. The studies are indicative of distinct Golgi components harboring the majority of acceptors and enzymes for terminal glycosylation.

Abstract
Hepatocytes of estradiol-treated rats, which express many low density lipoprotein receptors, rapidly accumulate intravenously injected low density lipoprotein in multivesicular bodies (MVBs). We have isolated MVBs and Golgi apparatus fractions from livers of estradiol-treated rats. MVB fractions were composed mainly of large vesicles, approximately 0.55 micron diam, filled with remnantlike very low density lipoproteins, known to be taken up into hepatocytes by receptor-mediated endocytosis. MVBs also contained numerous small vesicles, 0.05-0.07 micron in diameter, and had two types of appendages: one fingerlike and electron dense and the other saclike and electron lucent. MVBs contained little galactosyltransferase or arylsulfatase activity, and content lipoproteins were largely intact. Very low density lipoproteins from Golgi fractions, which are derived to a large extent from secretory vesicles, were larger than those of MVB fractions and contained newly synthesized triglycerides. Membranes of MVBs contained much more cholesterol and less protein than did Golgi membranes. We conclude that two distinct lipoprotein-filled organelles are located in the bile canalicular pole of hepatocytes. MVBs, a major prelysosomal organelle of low density in the endocytic pathway, contain remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, whereas secretory vesicles of the Golgi apparatus contain nascent very low density lipoproteins.

Abstract
A technique is described for the isolation of a plasma membrane-enriched preparation from a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction by using discontinuous Percoll density-gradient centrifugation. The procedure is simple, of high reproducibility and yield and requires a total isolation time of only 90 min. The preparation consists almost exclusively of membrane vesicles and is enriched approx. 26-fold in plasma membrane-localized enzymes with minor contamination (less than 10%) with membranes derived mainly from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Approx. 20% of the fraction comprises tightly-sealed vesicles in the inverted orientation which are capable of accumulating calcium ions and exhibiting vanadate-insensitive Ca2+-ATPase activity. The properties of these activities, including insensitivity to vanadate, oxalate, and to p-chloromercuribenzoate as well as a lack of requirement for added Mg2+, contrast markedly with the reported properties of Ca2+ transport by the endoplasmic reticulum isolated from rat liver. The technique may have wide application in the study of plasma membrane-associated activities in rat liver, particularly in relation to sinusoidal membrane surface-related events.

Abstract
The conditions for the quantitative determination of UDP-Gal:glucosylceramide galactosyltransferase and of UDP-Gal:GM2 galactosyltransferase in Golgi-enriched preparations of rat liver were optimized. Triton X-100 was the detergent routinely used as octyl glucoside acted as a galactose acceptor forming octyl lactoside. Manganese ions were required for full activity, but Co2+ and Mg2+ could substitute to some extent. The nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity of the Golgi preparations which interfered with the GL2-synthase assay was inhibited by addition of 20 mM IMP; the latter is without appreciable effect on the rate of GL2 synthesis. Apparent Km values for UDP-Gal were 130 microM and 140 microM with Gl2-synthase and Gm1-synthase, respectively. That for glucosylceramide was 80 microM with GL2-synthase; for GM2 it was 10 microM with GM1-synthase. Competition experiments with variable concentrations of the lipid acceptors showed that the two synthase activities are independent catalytic entities. The specific activity of GM1-synthase exceeds that of GL2-synthase by a factor of ca. 25 under the optimized conditions used here.

Abstract
UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine--GM3 acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GM2-synthase) was studied in a Golgi-rich fraction from rat liver. Activity in a cell-free system required the presence of detergents; octyl glucoside was found to be the most effective in stimulating the enzyme. Optimal activity of GM2-synthase was obtained at pH 7.2, in the presence of 0.8% octyl glucoside, 10 mM Mn2+ and 5 mM CDP-choline. The latter was used to counteract the rapid sugar nucleotide hydrolysis caused by a nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity in the Golgi fraction. The apparent Km values for UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine and added GM3 were 0.035 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. Different results were obtained if endogenous GM3 only was used as the glycolipid acceptor. In this case, the apparent Km value for UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine was 0.18 mM and Co2+ and Fe2+ exceeded Mn2+ in activating GM2-synthase. Under optimal assay conditions and in the presence of added GM3 and 5 mM CDP-choline, the specific activity of the enriched Golgi fraction was measured to be 25-30 nmol X mg protein-1 X h-1; with endogenous GM3 as the sole glycolipid acceptor, V was calculated to be 9 nmol X mg protein-1 X h-1.

Abstract
Preparations enriched with plasmalemmal, outer mitochondrial, or Golgi complex membranes from rat liver were subfractionated by isopycnic centrifugation, without or after treatment with digitonin, to establish the subcellular distribution of a variety of enzymes. The typical plasmalemmal enzymes 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphodiesterase I, and alkaline phosphatase were markedly shifted by digitonin toward higher densities in all three preparations. Three glycosyltransferases, highly purified in the Golgi fraction, were moderately shifted by digitonin in both this Golgi complex preparation and the microsomal fraction. The outer mitochondrial membrane marker, monoamine oxidase, was not affected by digitonin in the outer mitochondrial membrane marker, monoamine oxidase, was not affected by digitonin in the out mitochondrial membrane preparation, in agreement wit its behavior in microsomes. With the exception of NADH cytochrome c reductase (which was concentrated in the outer mitochondrial membrane preparation), typical microsomal enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase, esterase, and NADPH cytochrome c reductase) displayed low specific activities in the three preparations; except for part of the glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the plasma membrane preparation, their density distributions were insensitive to digitonin, as they were in microsomes. The influence of digitonin on equilibrium densities was correlated with its morphological effects. Digitonin induced pseudofenestrations in plasma membranes. In Golgi and outer mitochondrial membrane preparations, a few similarly altered membranes were detected in subfractions enriched with 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I. The alterations of Golgi membranes were less obvious and seemingly restricted to some elements in the Golgi preparation. No morphological modification was detected in digitonin-treated outer mitochondrial membranes. These results indicate that each enzyme is associated with the same membrane entity in all membrane preparations and support the view that there is little overlap in the enzymatic equipment of the various types of cytomembranes.

Abstract
1. Cytochrome P-450 has been detected in preparations of golgi apparatus from the livers of phenobarbital-induced rats. 2. Newly biosynthesized cytochrome P-450 is also present in preparations of golgi apparatus. By using three different techniques to fractionate the golgi into vesicle contents and membrane components it was found that newly biosynthesized cytochrome P-450 is associated solely with the membrane fraction. 3. By investigating the susceptibility of cytochrome P-450, present in the golgi apparatus, to the action of trypsin it was found that the majority was oriented on the cytosolic face of the membrane.

Abstract
The site of condensation and activation of tyrosinase prior to melanosome melanogenesis has been investigated using subcellular fractionation and enzymic analysis of so-called Golgi apparatus of melanoma cells. Two different functional units have been found in the so-called Golgi fraction, the tyrosinase-rich GERL-coated vesicle unit and the TPPase-rich Golgi unit. The tyrosinase-rich unit consists of a tubular structure with a cisternal portion corresponding to the three-dimensional structural characteristics of GERL, and spheroid vesicles, corresponding to the currently accepted criteria for coated vesicles. This fact suggests, in agreement with electron microscopic observations, that the GERL-coated vesicle unit is a specialized portion of smooth endoplasmic reticulum having the function of activating and condensing the tyrosinase synthesized by ribosomes.

Abstract
The feeding of cholesterol-rich diets alters the serum lipoproteins of a number of mammalian species. These lipoproteins are characterized by the presence of several classes of particles enriched in cholesteryl esters and apolipoprotein E (apo E). It was the aim of this study to determine whether one or more of these particles arises by de novo hepatic synthesis by characterizing nascent lipoproteins isolated from the hepatic Golgi apparatus of hypercholesterolemic rats. Characterization of these lipoproteins afforded the opportunity to assess morphologic, biochemical, and biophysical properties of newly synthesized lipoproteins before enzymatic alterations and apoprotein transfer known to occur after secretion into the plasma compartment. Golgi very low density lipoproteins (VLDL, d < 1.006 g/ml) from hypercholesterolemic rats contained nearly four times the total cholesterol mass found in control Golgi VLDL. They exhibited electrophoretic mobility intermediate between beta and pre-beta and were devoid of apo C. A second population of hepatic Golgi lipoproteins was isolated from hypercholesterolemic rats at 1.006--1.040 g/ml d. These low density lipoproteins were smaller than VLDL, displayed beta electrophoretic mobility, were enriched in cholesteryl esters, and contained apo E as well as apo B. The fatty acid composition of the core lipids of the nascent lipoproteins was found to reflect that of dietary triglyceride. The liver of the hypercholesterolemic rat thus plays an active role in dietary-induced hypercholesterolemia by synthesizing a modified VLDL and a low density lipoprotein resembling serum low density lipoprotein.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase in rat liver cells was reinvestigated. In fresh heavy and light Golgi fractions (GF3 and GF1 + 2) and in mitochondria, the specific activity of rotenone-insensitive NADH-cytochrome c reductase was approximately 100, 60, and 30%, respectively, of the value found in microsomes. However, the Golgi enzyme was unstable inasmuch as pelleting and resuspending the fresh fractions resulted in a considerable inactivation (40--60%), which was further increased with subsequent storage at 4 degrees C. A similar inactivation was observed using cytochrome b5 but not ferricyanide as electron acceptor. The inactivation of Golgi NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity was independent of the protein concentration of the fractions during storage, was unaffected by the addition of the antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene, but was partly prevented by buffering the fractions at neutral pH and by storage at--20 degrees C. A total Golgi fraction was analyzed by density equilibration on continuous sucrose gradients after exposure to digitonin. As expected, the distribution of both protein and galactosyl transferase were shifted to higher densities by this treatment. However, not all galactosyl transferase-bearing elements were shifted to the same extent by exposure to the detergent, suggesting a biochemical heterogeneity of the Golgi complex. In contrast to their behavior in microsomes, the distribution of NADH-cytochrome c reductase and cytochrome b5 of Golgi fractions was shifted by digitonin, although to a lesser extent than that of galactosyl transferase. These results indicate that NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase is an authentic component of Golgi membranes, as well as of microsomes and of mitochondria. The conflicting results reported in the past on the Golgi localization of the enzyme could be due, on the one hand, to the differential lability of the activity in its various subcellular locations and, on the other, to the heterogeneity of the Golgi complex in terms of both cholesterol and enzyme distribution.

Abstract
Protein and glycoprotein synthesis and secretion by isolated perfused livers and isolated hepatocytes from control and streptozotocin diabetic rats have been investigated. (3)H-Leucine and (14)C-glucosamine incorporation were used as markers for protein and glycoprotein synthesis and secretion. Total protein secretion was reduced by 50% in the perfusate (p < 0.001) and by 36% in hepatocytes (p < 0.05), but glycoprotein secretion was unchanged in both preparations from diabetic animals. These differences were not due to changes in the available pool sizes of the different labels. On liver fractionation, all membrane components from the liver of diabetic animals had lowered (3)H-leucine: (14)Cd-glucosamine ratios in relation to the control animals. This was caused by enhanced glucosamine incorporation in relation to that of leucine. It is suggested that whereas protein synthesis is decreased in acutely diabetic rats, the production of glycoproteins is normal and occurs by the same pathway as in control animals.

Abstract
1. Antibodies have been prepared to rat hepatic cytochrome P-450 and their specificity demonstrated. These antibodies have been used to investigate the biosynthesis of cytochrome P-450 in vitro and in situ in various components of the endoplasmic reticulum. 2. A preparation of heavy rough endoplasmic reticulum translocates proteins newly biosynthesized in vitro vectorially into the luminal space and these are released by low concentrations of deoxycholate. A significant proportion of the radioactivity found in this released fraction is incorporated into cytochrome P-450. 3. Following incorporation of [14C]leucine by perfused rat liver, radioactively labelled cytochrome P-450 can be found in the intrascisternal content of heavy rough, light rough and smooth endopalsmic reticulum and also in a solublized Golgi preparation. 4. We suggest that at least part of the newly biosynthesized cytochrome P-450 is translocated into the intracisternal space of the rough endoplasmic and then passes through the other components of the endoplasmic reticulum before insertion at its ultimate membrane locus.

Abstract
1. Three Golgi fractions, GF-1, GF-2 and GF-3, were isolated from the livers of rats pretreated with colchicine, which gave better yields of the fractions than ethanol treatment of rats. 2. Electron microscopic observation showed that GF-1 was composed mainly of secretory vesicles, GF-3 consisted predominantly of small tubules and flattened cisternae, and GF-2 was an intermediate fraction composed of secretory vesicles and cisternal elements. 3. Among these three fractions the highest activity of galactosyl transferase, marker enzyme of the Golgi complex, was found in GF-3 and the lowest activity was in GF-1, although a different distribution of the enzymes was observed in fractions obtained from ethanol-treated rat liver. 4. Enzymatic characterization of these fractions showed that no significant contamination with other subcellular components occurred in GF-1 and GF-2.

Abstract
The relationship between Golgi and cell surface membranes of intestinal cells was studied. These membranes were isolated from intestinal crypt cells and villus cells. The villus cell membranes consisted of microvillus membrane, a Golgi-rich fraction, and two membrane fractions interpreted as representing lateral-basal membranes. The villus cell microvillus membrane was purified by previously published techniques while the other membranes were obtained from isolated cells by differential centrifugation and density gradient velocity sedimentation. The two membrane fractions obtained from villus cells and considered to be lateral-basal membranes were enriched for Na+,K+-ATPase activity, but one also showed enrichment in glycosyltransferase activity. The Golgi membrane fraction was enriched for glycosyltransferase activity and had low to absent Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Adenylate cyclase activity was present in all membrane fractions except the microvillus membrane but co-purified with Golgi rather than lateral-basal membranes. Electron microscopy showed that the Golgi fraction consisted of variably sized vesicles and cisternalike structures. The two lateral-basal membrane fractions showed only vesicles of smaller, more uniform size. After 125I labeling of isolated intact cells, radioactivity was found associated with the lateral-basal and microvillus membrane fractions and not with the Golgi fraction. Antibody prepared against lateral-basal membrane fractions reacted with the surface membrane of isolated villus cells. The membrane fractions from isolated crypt cells demonstrated that all had high glycosyltransferase activity. The data show that glycosyltransferase activity, in addition to its Golgi location, may be a significant property of the lateral-basal portion of the intestinal villus cell plasma membrane. Data obtained with crypt cells support earlier data and show that the crypt cell surface membrane possesses glycosyltransferase activity.
